Issue Date: Monday, July 22, 2019
\nIssue Time: 10:55AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Another day of severe thunderstorms<\/span> and flash flooding<\/span> over the Urban Corridor and Southeast Plains. Upslope flow of moist, warm air from the northeast provided lift for severe thunderstorms<\/span> over the areas last night. Mixing out of surface moisture throughout the afternoon prevented afternoon convection<\/span> over most areas, which reduced rainfall totals from forecasted values. However, a resurgence of moisture to the west due to a low level vorticity maximum over the San Luis Valley, provided energy and lift for severe storms beginning around 7pm. Notable severe weather reports to the NWS<\/span> include:<\/p>\n

Monument (El Paso County): Flash flooding<\/span> with an estimated 6 inches of water on roadways
\n4 miles northeast of Colorado Springs (El Paso County): 1.5 inches of rain in 30 minutes
\nArapahoe Park (Arapahoe County): 1.75 inch diameter hail
\nBeulah (Pueblo County): 3.1 inches heavy rain<\/p>\n

Little to no rain was measured to the east of the Continental Divide<\/span>, with the highest report of the day measuring 0.56 inches over Chaffee County. CoCoRaHS<\/span> stations in Pueblo and El Paso counties reported up to 3.07 inches and 2.03 inches respectively. The river gage at Fountain Creek rose briefly into Action stage yesterday, raising 5 feet over 45 minutes!<\/p>\n

\nThe map below shows radar-estimated, rainfall gage-adjusted Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE<\/span>) across Colorado. The map is updated daily during the operational season (May 1 – Sep 30) by 11AM. The following six layers are currently available: 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour total precipitation, as well as maximum 1-hour, 2-hour and 6-hour precipitation over the past 24 hour period (to estimate where flash flooding<\/span> may have occurred). The 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour total precipitation contain bias corrections that are not disaggregated into the hourly estimates, so there will likely be some differences. The accumulation ending time is 7AM of the date shown in the bottom right corner. Also shown optionally are vulnerable fire burn areas (post 2012), which are updated throughout the season to include new, vulnerable burn areas. The home button in the top left corner resets the map to the original zoom.
